The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chapter 366 Deal

Jiang Xi fell asleep after washing up, while the lights in the rooms of the brothers Song Yulin and Song Yuxing were not turned off until midnight.

The next day, Jiang Xi arrived at Jinlou early in the morning. He originally wanted to find Duan Yuanzhou to go with him, but he left home even earlier.

As for the brothers Song Yulin and Song Yuxing, they were tired after a long day yesterday and slept late. They were still asleep when Jiang Xi left the house.

Jiang Xi didn't call them either.

After going out, Jiang Xi sat down at a roadside stall and ordered a bowl of wontons for twenty cents, but put some dried shrimps and chopped green onions in the soup, and also ordered a basket of buns.

The buns here are not big and cost twenty cents.

Although it's a bit expensive, the taste is really good.

The stall was only two blocks away from Jinlou, so Jiang Xi didn't call for a taxi and just walked over there.

It was still early when Jiang Li arrived at Jinlou. It had just opened. The shop assistants were sorting gold jewelry and Manager Zou was looking through the account books.

When Jiang Li approached, Shopkeeper Zou smiled before he even raised his head.

When I looked closely, it was Jiang Li.

"Hey, it's Miss Jiang."

Shopkeeper Zou closed the account book and walked out from the counter.

"I was planning to come over to talk to you about the shop across the street today!"

Shopkeeper Zou said this and took Jiang Li to the small room at the back.

He turned around and told a waiter, "Lady Yang's maid may come to pick up the jewelry later. It was ordered half a month ago. The jewelry is in the leftmost cabinet on the third floor."

After hearing the waiter's response, Shopkeeper Zou took Jiang Li and continued to go inside.

Before Jiang Li could speak, Shopkeeper Zou said, "Mr. Cao has agreed to sell the shop to you."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up.

Shopkeeper Zou continued, "But he wants five hundred taels of silver."

At this point, Shopkeeper Zou said, "Miss Jiang, last time I heard you say that you want to sell your stuffed dolls to the young ladies and young masters of wealthy families. If this shop is too small, it might not be easy to sell them."

What's more, the price of this shop is not cheap. If I want to sell it later, it is too small and I am afraid it will be difficult to sell.

As a middleman, Shopkeeper Zou had two parties, one being his boss and the other his friend. He was most afraid that there would be any problems after the deal was done, so he explained everything clearly to Jiang Li in advance.

Jiang Li also said bluntly: "Uncle Zou, to be honest with you, if I buy the shop, I plan to tear it down and rebuild it."

Shopkeeper Zou paused for a moment. Mr. Cao had mentioned this issue when he talked to him.

Shopkeeper Zou nodded.

Then he started talking to Jiang Li about the shop decoration.

No matter how it is decorated, the shop is so small that two people sitting side by side have difficulty turning around.

Jiang Li took out a piece of paper and drew on it with charcoal.

Let people see what the architecture is like at a glance.

Shopkeeper Zou's eyes lit up and he took the drawing from Jiang Li.

"I've never seen this kind of painting before."

Shopkeeper Zou became more and more interested, holding the blueprint, and wanted to ask Jiang Li for advice.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said to him, "I'll send you a book later."

In this way, Shopkeeper Zou finally let Jiang Li go.

The two continued to discuss the shop. The drawings in front of them were clear at a glance. The next step was to find carpenters and bricklayers.

Shopkeeper Zou was busy, but seeing that Jiang Li was generous in teaching him, he was willing to teach him all the drawing methods. No matter how busy he was, Shopkeeper Zou had to help Jiang Li solve the problem.

"Leave it to me. I'll take care of it for you."

Jiang Li interrupted Manager Zou and said, "Instead of helping me find a bricklayer, why don't you introduce me to someone who can do the job?"

Jiang Xi smiled and said that she would have to invite someone to look after her shop sooner or later anyway, so it would be better to find one now and then hand over the management of the shop to the other party.

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Zou became thoughtful.

Jiang Xi quickly added: "Young children from your relatives and friends are also fine, at least 17 or 18 years old."

Jiang Xi thought about it and offered a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver.

Currently we are only planning to recruit one person.

However, before leaving the capital, one extra vacancy will be reserved depending on the situation, and the decision will be made by the shop manager at that time.

Shopkeeper Zou thought about it and had a candidate in mind, but he didn't rush to tell Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi said, "It's okay. This is not urgent. We can talk about it after we transfer the shop."

Shopkeeper Zou nodded.

The noise outside gradually became more lively.

Jiang Xi did not delay Shopkeeper Zou's work and made an appointment with him to go to the shop to take a look. When he saw that there were no problems, he would go directly to the government office to handle the transfer procedures.

After leaving Jinlou, Jiang Xi strolled along the road and headed towards the hot pot restaurant that Duan Yuanzhou was renovating.

Duan Yuanzhou has been busy dealing with the goods in the shop these days. There is no problem with the fabrics, but this business is not easy to do.

Therefore, they sold it to their peers at a slightly lower price.

Jiang Li packed a lot of snacks on the way, including glutinous rice cakes, sazi, and golden and silver pastries. His hands were full. The main reason was that he wanted to eat a lot of the things he saw on the way. There happened to be a lot of people at Duan Yuanzhou's shop, so he bought all of them and brought them over for everyone to eat.

It took her more than half an hour to reach the hot pot restaurant, where Duan Yuanzhou was processing the last batch of defective fabrics.

He was just about to wave his hand and let the workers divide up the fabrics and take them home.

As a result, Gracilaria came over.

Duan Yuanzhou was so busy that his eyes turned black. When he saw Jiang Xi coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ali, you came just in time. Please keep an eye on me. I haven't slept well for two days."

Duan Yuanzhou wailed and complained to Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi asked about the progress and learned from Duan Yuanzhou that after the remaining batch of goods was processed, the shop could start renovating.

"I have already made an appointment with the person, and he will come today. The decoration of the hot pot restaurant is still the same as our other shops in Yunzhou City. You know it all!"

Jiang Xi nodded, "Okay, go to the back and have a rest! I'll help you watch, and we can start working when people arrive!"

Duan Yuanzhou nodded, with two big dark circles under his eyes, and ran to the back to rest.

Several shop assistants pulled the cloth in their hands and smiled at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi invited them to come over for some snacks.

When Duan Yuanzhou woke up, people outside had already started working.

The original shelves in the shop were moved out, waiting for the owner to make a decision.

After everything was moved out, the shop suddenly seemed even emptier.

“I’m afraid this wall needs to be torn down too.”

Jiang Xi was talking about the wall near the door, which needed to be replaced with wooden windows.

"In addition, we have to build a stove in the kitchen."

Jiang Xi was discussing with the foreman when he caught a glimpse of Duan Yuanzhou waking up. He waved to him and called him over.

"Chef, should you start looking?"
